Mass food made by cooks who don’t give a crap and are not paid by the customers will never be good.
Outsource school cafeterias and make all kids pay. Make there be a diverse menu for 12 and up. Make a protein and fruit comfort menu for little kids (no candy and soda for the little ones).
Get government out from between the maker and the customer. Period.
there are folks who text onto fr? beebelip belip blip blip beebeebeelip... doing that on a digit keyboard would drive me mad, and a chiclet qwerty not much better.
The eventual solution will probably be monitors who will force kids to clean their plates a la Cool Hand Luke.
(The monitors, being on duty, will notably not be eating in the cafeteria.)
Privatization, competition, and ownership stake in the end product and results.
There you go trying to be all logical and sensible again...
